a POV that Spain's president might try. A few blocks from my room in Madrid at a book fair to promote literacy, Sr Zapatero, while giving autographs and high fives to kids, said books are very expensive and he'd see about getting the value added tax on them cut down to zero. (El Pais, June 4; see, politicians can grasp geo-logic.) But why do we raise the cost of any useful product? Why not tax useless products? Even more basic: is being better than a costly tax good enough? Our favorite replacement for any tax is no tax: instead, run government like a business and charge full market value for the permits it issues, such as everything from corporate charters to emission allowances to resource leases. These pieces of paper are immensely valuable, yet now our steward, the state, gives them away for nearly free, absolutely free in some cases. Government is sitting on its own assets and needs merely to cash in by doing what any rational entity in the economy does – negotiate the best deal. Then with this profit, rather than fund more waste, pay the stakeholders, we citizenry, a dividend. Thereby geonomics gets rid of two huge problems. It replaces taxes with full-value fees and replaces subsidies for special interests with a Citizens Dividend for people in general. Neither left nor right, this reform is what both nature lovers and liberty lovers need to promote, right now.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
a neologism for sharing "rent" or "social surplus" – the money we spend on the nature we use. When we buy land, such as the land beneath a home, we typically pay the wrong person – the homeowner. Instead, since land cost us nothing to make and is the common heritage of us all, rather than pay the owner, we should pay ourselves, our neighbors, our community. That is, we should all pay land dues to the public treasury, then our government would pay us land dividends from this collected revenue. It's similar to the Alaska oil dividend, almost $2,000 last year. Indeed, the annual rental value of land, oil, all other natural resources, including the broadcast spectrum and other government-granted permits such as corporate charters, totals several trillion dollars each year. It's so much that some could be spent on basic social services, the rest parceled out as a dividend, as Tom Paine suggested, and taxes (except any on natural rents) could be abolished, as Thomas Jefferson suggested. Were we sharing Earth by sharing her worth, territorial disputes would be fewer, less intense, and more resolvable.
a manual. The world did not come without a way for people to prosper, and the planet to heal and stay well; that way is geonomics. Economies are part of the ecosystem. Both generate surpluses and follow self-regulating feedback loops. A cycle like the Law of Supply and Demand is one of the economy's on/off loops. Our spending for land and resources – things that nobody made and everybody needs – constitutes our society's surplus. Those profits without production (remember, nobody produced Earth) can become our commonwealth. To share it, we could pay land dues in to the public treasury (wouldn't oil companies love that?) and get rent dividends back, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Doing so let's us axe taxes and jettison subsidies. Taxes and subsidies distort price (the DNA of exchange), violate quid pro quo by benefiting the well-connected more than anyone else, reinforce hierarchy of state over citizen, and are costly to administer (you don't really need so much bureaucracy, do you?). Conversely, land dues motivate people to not waste sites, resources, and the ecosystem while rent dividends motivate people to not waste themselves. Receiving this income supplement – a Citizens Dividend – people can invest in their favorite technology or outgrow being "economan" and shrink their overbearing workweek in order to enjoy more time with family, friends, community, and nature. Then in all that free time, maybe we could figure out just what we are here for.
an alternative to conventional land trusts. Just as it seems some functions should not be left to the market – private courts and cops invite corruption (while private mediation is fine) – just so some land should not be left in the market. That said, sacred sites do not make much of a model for treating the vast acreage of land that we need to use. So the usual trust model, which is anti-use and counter-market, can not apply where it's needed most. Trust proponents worry about ownership and control – two very human ambitions – but they're not central. Supposedly, we the people own millions acres – acres that private corporations treat as private fiefdoms – and conversely, the Nature Conservancy owns wilderness the public can some places use as parks. So, the issue is not who owns but who gets the rent – ideally, all of us.
an answer for Jonathan of the Green Party (Nov 7): "What does 'share our surplus' mean?" Our surplus is the values that society generates synergistically. It's the money we spend on the nature we use: on land sites, natural resources, EM spectrum, ecosystem services (assimilating pollutants). It's also the money we pay to holders of government-granted privileges like corporate charters. We could share it by paying for the nature we use and privileges we hold to the public treasury then getting back a fair share of the recovered revenue. Used to be, owners did owe rent ("own" and "owe" used to be one word). And presently, some lucky residents do get back periodic dividends: Alaska's oil dividend and Aspen Colorado's housing assistance. Doing that, instead of subsidizing bads while taxing goods, is the essence of geonomics. Jonathan: "Is local currency what you mean?" Editor: It's not. Community currency is a good reform, but every good reform pushes up site values. That makes land an even more tempting object of speculation. Now, any good will eventually do bad by widening the income gap – until you share land values.
a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
the study of the money we spend on the nature we use. When we pay that money to private owners, we reward both speculation and over-extraction. Robert Kiyosaki's bestseller, Rich Dad's Prophecy, says, "One of the reasons McDonald's is such a rich company is not because it sells a lot of burgers but because it owns the land at some of the best intersections in the world. The main reason Kim and I invest in such properties is to own the land at the corner of the intersection. (p 200) My real estate advisor states that the rich either made their money in real estate or hold their money in real estate." (p 141, via Greg Young) When government recovers the rents for natural advantages for everyone, it can save citizens millions. Ben Sevack, Montreal steel manufacturer, tells us (August 12) that Alberta, by leasing oil & gas fields, recovers enough revenue to be the only province in Canada to get by without a sales tax and to levy a flat provincial income tax. While running for re-election, provincial Premier Ralph Klein proposes to abolish their income tax and promises to eliminate medical insurance premiums and use resource revenue to pay for all medical expense for seniors. After all this planned tax-cutting and greater expense, they still expect a large budget surplus. Even places without oil and gas have high site values in their downtowns, and high values in their utility franchises. Recover the values of locations and privileges, displace the harmful taxes on sales, salaries, and structures, then use the revenue to fund basic government and pay residents a dividend, and you have geonomics in action.
a study of a phenomenon David Ricardo noted going on two centuries ago. When wine grapes rise to $10,000 a ton from the very best land (last year, cabernet sauvignon commanded an average of $4,021 a ton in the Napa Valley), then vineyard prices soar from $18,000 an acre in the 1980′s to $100,000 an acre five years ago and now for a top pedigree up to $300,000 an acre (The New York Times, April 9, via Wyn Achenbaum). Pricey land does not make wine pricey; spendy wine makes land spendy. While vintners make their wine tasty, nature and society in general – not any lone owner – make land desireable. Steve Kerch of CBS's MarketWatch (April 5) notes that much of what a home sells for on the open market is a reflection of intangible factors such as what school district the house sits in. The price the builder has to pay for the land also tends to be driven by the same intangibles. Because the value of land comes from society, and because one's use excludes the rest of society, each user owes all others compensation, and is owed compensation by everyone else. Sharing land's value, instead of taxing one's efforts, is the policy of geonomics.
one of many words I coined over 20 years ago: geoism, geonomics, geonomy, geocracy, etc – neologisms that later others came up with, too. CNBC once had a Geonomics Show, and Middlebury College has a Geonomics Institute. If "economy" is literally "management of the household", then geonomy is "management of the planet". The kind of management I had in mind is not what CNBC was thinking – top-down. My geonomics is not hands-on, interfering, but hands-off, organic. It'd strive to align policy with natural processes, similar to what holistic healing does in medicine, what organic farming does in agriculture. Geonomics attends to two key components: One, the crucial stuff to track is fat — or profit, especially profits without production, such as rent, or all the money we spend on the nature we use. Society's surplus is the sine qua non for growth, needed to counter death – not merely more, but sustainable development, more from less. Two, the basic process to respect is the feedback loop. These let nature maintain balance automatically and could do the same for markets, if we let them. Letting them would turn our economies, now our masters, into a geonomy, our servant, providing us with prosperity, eco-librium (to coin a term) and leisure, time off — a hostile environment for economan but a cradle for a loving and creative humanity.

Will A Foolish Lie Beget A Fiery Love?
Lady Serena Caraway had always prided herself on being sensible and level-headed. Yet when the estate she calls home passed from her late brother to a distant relation, Robin, the new Lord Caraway, Serena did a most foolish thing: She wrote to him at his residence abroad--not as a young lady, which would have been shocking enough, but in the guise of the Caraway Estate bailiff.

Product Comments: The internet picture was unclear. I assumed the reception and wedding were two different .. was not aware till arrived that same invitation on two sides. One name misspelled

Product Comments: Color was just a little off from what I thought it was going to be. Overall I love the detail in the lace on the top and bottom of the invites. Also wish I would have put something on the bottom to indicate that there is stuff printed on back. People aren't flipping the invite over and calling about the reception info. Thats what I love about them though, saved money not buying seperate cards for reception etc. Loved that!! But overall very happy with them!

Product Comments: Invitations by Dawn came highly recommended by a friend. I went on the website, with so many beautiful invitations to choose from it was hard to decide. We are working with a small budget for a casual wedding. The invites we picked were perfect for our occasion and the endless options made them unique to us. Will definitely recommend Invitations by Dawn to all brides I know.
Service Comments: They came so quickly and were perfect in every way. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Product Comments: I am getting married in less than a year and ordered these invitations for my wedding. I am having a formal wedding and the main themes are glitter (or bling, if you want to call it that) and lace. Needless to say, these invitations were perfect and I thought they were very reasonably priced. Since the budget for invitations was a little small, my fiancée and I just ordered the standard paper and when I received my invitations I was extremely impressed! They were very elegant, exactly what I had ordered and expected and the paper they were printed on was of very good quality. I am very impressed with these invitations, they definitely met and exceeded my expectations; I would recommend them to anyone.
Service Comments: I ordered 120 of these invitations and they were sitting on my doorstep just three days after placing my order. I was very impressed! All of my items were well packed and very organized in their boxes. The shipping service was absolutely flawless and super speedy.

Product Comments: I bought these for my May wedding, printed in pink and black on shimmer paper. I couldn't get over how pretty they looked when they arrived. I almost didn't get the shimmer paper, but then I got a coupon when I ordered samples and was able to not go over budget and still get what I wanted. They look just as nice if not nicer than boutique invite places. I ended up buying envelopes from another website because my in-laws culture does not allow for white envelopes. It would've been nice if I could've ordered all from the same place, but I would still recommend these wholeheartedly.

Traxman, 'The Mind of Traxman' (Planet Mu)
- SPIN Rating:9 of 10
Label: Planet Mu
"Footwork" is prime proof of a recurring truth in dance music: While the various electronic vanguards strive self-consciously to break all sound barriers, it's the functional styles that produce the real breakthroughs. This Chicago genre's prosaic name points to its purpose-built specificity: bare-bones beats tailored for the exponents of a unique local dance style, designed to spur them on to new feats of gravity-defying grace.
Its origins lie in a mutant offshoot of Chicago house known as "juke," but footwork has more in common with the booty-bass styles you find all across urban America, from Jersey club music to L.A. jerk. It sounds much more like an extension of electro's jagged-yet-elastic drum-machine beats than house's four-to-the-floor pump-and-pound. Likewise, footwork's dance contests, with their circles of spectator-participants, place it on the continuum of breakdancing and body-popping: dance as a gladiatorial display of prowess, as opposed to the communal ecstasy of the disco tradition.
Outsiders hearing footwork for the first time are often reminded, like I was, of the shock-of-the-new impact of jungle in the '90s, music so imposingly percussive it pulls irresistibly at your body, even as its split-level tempos and contorted track-structures frustrate all your acquired rhythmic reflexes. Unless you belong to the local scene, footwork tends to work more as a head-trip; you'd break an ankle if you actually tried to move to these jagged anti-grooves. Like early jungle, most footwork is just drums and bass plus some sliced'n'diced samples, with seemingly zero hand-played instrumental elements. Keyboards are strictly for stretching a sample — a horn, a voice, a snippet of orchestration — across the octaves, then tapping out jittery hyperkinetic patterns, effectively turning each source of sound into just another component of a giant drum kit.
The result can be so mechanistic and texturally emaciated that it really doesn't compute outside its proper context — the dance battle. But Planet Mu's two Bangs & Works compilations did a heroic job of sifting through to find the stand-alone gems. Even in that select company, the inclusions by Traxman stood out. Real name Cornelius Ferguson, he's a footwork veteran whose discography goes back to the mid '90s and who belongs to the Ghetto Teknitianz crew alongside two other scene leaders, DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn. His debut album builds on the musicality of those Bangs & Works contributions — the Dilla-worthy ethereality of "The Comeback" is thankfully repeated here. The first sound you hear on Da Mind of Traxman is the idyllic tinkling of a kalimba; for a moment, you start to imagine Traxman doing a Burial or Bukem, becoming an ambassador for his genre, the architect of footwork's coffee-table-ization.
But like the sugar in hot sauce, all the additional soulful and jazzy flavors — pale blue chords, sax-y loops, mellow piano comping — just bring out the stinging attack of the beats more fiercely. "I Need Some Money" is archetypal footwork in its use of contrast, draping a leisurely canopy of '70s harmony soul over a hectic pummel of rolling toms and clacking knitting-needle snares. Jungle did the opposites-coexist-blissfully game too: a 160-beats-per-minute break-beat frenzy versus 80-BPM heart-pulse bass, ruffneck ragga grit versus sentimental soul divas. But in footwork there's even less of a stable center. Sometimes the drums are almost screwed, a slow-mo battery of ponderous claps and smeared kicks, while the voices are whisked into a foam of phonemes. Traxman's "Slip Fall" upends convention by rendering the drums a sporadic, low-key presence and letting a manic pulse midway between Morse Code and a grandiose Bach arpeggio command the foreground; elsewhere, sped-up and slowed-down voices run in parallel, for maximum biorhythmic disorientation.
Woven from scraps of early AC/DC, "Let There Be Rockkkk" is a highlight: The rasped invocations of Bon Scott ("Let there be drums...THERE WAS DRUMS," "Let there be guitars...THERE WAS GUITARS," and so on) are answered by hacking frenzies of sound. A profane version of preacherly call-and-response, it serves to illustrate, despite the white-rock provenance of the sample, how deeply footwork is embedded in black musical tradition. Another indirect route to gospel comes on "Lifeeeeee Is for Ever," via Prince, whose "Let's Go Crazy" is ransacked for its intro's sustained church-organ note and hokey sermon: "Dearly beloved... electric word, 'life,' it means forever, and that's a mighty long time... I'm here to tell you, there's something else." When the beats blast off like an epileptic fit, you're suddenly minded of the Holy Roller madness of born-again believers shaking and twitching in the aisles. On "Conq Dat Bitch," the ugly sentiment of the title phrase is shredded into something similarly close to a speaking-in-tongues effect.
Footwork is a new twist on the age-old idea of dancing as the route to an embodied transcendence, or as wise elder neighbors the Art Ensemble of Chicago put it, "Ancient to the future."

So I'd like to see a definitive article surveying the landscape and identifying the key players in what seems to have become this era's most destructive business litigation.
Has patent trolling become the most lucrative lawyering out there? Who's making a killing? Who are the richest intellectual property lawyers on the plaintiffs' and defense sides? How did they get to the top? What about those investment funds that finance the litigation?
What exactly are the rules, and have they produced the kind of monster monkey wrench when it comes to commerce, innovation and deal flow that I suspect they have? Are companies like Apple or Google destined to pay millions for litigation no matter what they do, while smaller companies get smothered by the same forces once they start to succeed? And how much did recent patent reform legislation change things in the U.S.?
In tort law, which in the United States is generally governed by state laws, several states with especially accommodating statutes and sympathetic juries became known during the 1980s as plaintiffs' paradises. (At the American Lawyer, we did a story with exactly that title.) Are there countries around the world that now enjoy that distinction when it comes to fights over intellectual property?

well, today i was looking around online for deals on spotting scopes cause i kinda wanted one for my trips to the range when i saw that the Big 5 (sporting goods store) in my area had some on sale for like half price or less so i went up there. after i found the one i wanted i was waiting for the guy to come over so i could check it out when i glanced over at the rifles and right in the front in the center was a russian mosin nagant 91/30 for 99 bucks. 99 dollar rifle, i had to check it out. plus i've been reading in this forum about how these are supposed to be great rifles for the money. the one on display was in horrible shape. it literally had holes rotting through the stock and i was about to say screw it and just get what i came for, but the guy told me he had another one in the back that was in better shape but it was still covered in the cosmoline stuff so it wasn't on the shelf. after a look at it and a peek down the bore of the second one i thought it was in good enough shape for the 99 dollar price tag so i went ahead and got it. after i got it home i broke it all the way down and got all the cosmoline off and gave it a good thorough cleaning and oiling and it looks a lot better. here's some pics of what i got: a friend of mine has the m44 and i've shot it a couple times and it was decently accurate and the 7.62x54r ammo is dirt cheap so i think i'll be happy with mine. thanks for the suggestion FTF. i'm sure this 99 dollar purchase will give me many years of enjoyment. maybe i'll do a range report on this one when i go try it out tomorrow (weather permitting).

For just $99 I would have been all over that too. I've got no idea of their actual value but it sure is a good looking rifle at a sweet price. Congrats

Hey congrats man. My father and I got both of ours from Big five too at the same price. It's hard to find anything these days for $99 that will last as long or provide as much entertainment as one of these rifles. At the moment ammo is cheap so it is a hoot to shoot kinda nice after a .22lr or 5.56 to shoot something that lets you know it's there when you pull the trigger . uh oh I might be turning into a recoil junkie (I know it's not that big of a recoil but its up there in my book from the limited firearms I have shot). lol Any way congrats enjoy the cheap ammo and fun. Buy it cheap and stack it deep.

Mosins are starting to try up a bit as well as the ammo. Of course it is because of the recent scare of gun bans. I bought mine a few months ago and love it. Fun to shoot but after 60 rounds, the recoil hurts. Have fun and as far as value, it will increase BECAUSE of the scarcity, but not by much. So I would keep it. Great rifle and powerful round!

SHAH ALAM: The Selangor state government has again expressed its intention to step in to the operations of water concessionaire Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas).
Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said the recent water supply disruptions in Cheras and Ampang showed that Syabas had failed to carry out its duties as stated in the concession agreement.
The state government wanted to step in last year after Syabas announced plans to ration water in Selangor in July.
However, the move did not materialise after the federal government objected to the process of stepping in.
Asked why the state government was trying to step in again, Khalid said they were now in a better position to manage Syabas' operations.
"We have been sitting in for daily meetings with Syabas. Every move Syabas makes, we are part of it," he told reporters after chairing the state exco meeting here Wednesday.
On the breakdown at the Wangsa Maju pump house, which caused water supply disruptions to more than half a million people, Khalid alleged that Syabas had failed to regularly service the Variable Speed Drive (VSD) system.
"The VSD system needs periodically preventive maintenance, but Syabas does not have a periodical maintenance contract with the VSD supplier.
"Syabas only calls the supplier for maintenance when a problem crops up," he claimed.
Khalid also rubbished Syabas' claim that spare parts for the pumps could only be imported from Finland, saying that the supplier vouched that the parts could be couriered in from China.

Charlie and Clare have a wealth of travel experience and a particular passion for South East Asia. Both have recently returned from a trip to both Malaysian and Indonesian Borneo which has only served to enhance their love for this part of the world. If, on the other hand, spending some time with orang-utans is your prime objective on your holiday to Malaysia then we definitely have the right expertise not least because of our very close relationship with the Orang-utan Foundation.
Malaysia's diverse cultural history has led to an open-minded approach to tourism and with a melting pot of Malay, Chinese, Indian as well as indigenous tribes you are treated to varied architecture, culture and of course delicious cuisines. From the skyscrapers and modernity of Kuala Lumpur to the dense rainforests of both Borneo and the mainland, Malaysia encapsulates South-East Asia in its entirety.
Synonymous with the mystery of the Far East, Malaysia still conjures visions of rubber trees, sultans, jungles, pirates, head-hunters and exotic beaches but while the pirates and head-hunters have largely retired, the rest remains. The endless glorious beaches tend to be the initial lure of Malaysia where some truly sensational resorts will cater and pamper to your every need. Explore further and you find colonial hill stations, dense primary rainforest, tea plantations and some fascinating wildlife which, of course, includes the endearing orang-utan. In addition there are the UNESCO sites of George Town and Malacca where four centuries of European influence have left churches, forts, houses and grandiose administrative buildings.

My Summer of 2012 has been nothing special. Haven't gotten my liscense, but I just completed my training. Haven't got a job, but Im planning on making some resume's soon.. And for school... nothing has been done. Im 2 years behind now. fml. Dont homeschool if your a lazy b*****d like me.
My good friend passed away this summer, 4 days before my birthday. Everything has been completely set back, and Ive just been a mess ever since. Him and I were farely close, and everyday I was falling more and more for him. I love Keiran more than anything, and I will never forget him. I will never let him go.
I've done nothing this summer. Smoked alot of weed. Drank alot of booze. And the majority of it alone. Who am I to tell my dad he's an alcoholic. Ive got my very own substance abuse problem.
Sometimes things are okay. If I just go into another world, and distract myself from thinking too much, and fade off into some abyss. Everyone thinks I'm okay. They all believe I'm doing fine. But I feel Im barely hanging on by a string. It feels like Ive been punched in the throat and I can't breathe. Nothing is going right. Everything is slumping. And I'm the main cause.
If God does have a plan for us all, to bring this world crumbling down to ashes, then I say "Bring it on". Im tired of this world. The 17 years that Ive lived on this planet and I'm sick of it. I dont understand why life was made so hard to live. Why its so easy to fail. I dont get why what happens when were young determines how Im going to live the rest of my life. I have no idea what the hell I want. Why should I have to choose at this stupid, vulnerable time of my life? I think about the condition were in now. How people are evolving, and new waves of modern technology are sweeping throughout the world. People are getting more and more arrogant. New drugs. More murder, death and mayhem. Minds are getting twisted. Sicker. --When I heard that the world was soon to end years back, my first reaction was to cry. Every living creature is going to die. And no one would survive? But, now that years have passed, I can see that the world is tired. Mankind is washing out the beauty of our planet. And we are now simply failing ourselves. It is now time to breathe, and reboot. Welcome, the End.
Shaylin. Vampielou.

What can be done about noisy air-conditioners?
Issue: The office building near a reader's home has a loud air-conditioning unit and she wants to know how to address the issue.
Status: Jim Beix, epidemiologist with the Wauwatosa Health Department, said that the city doesn't get complaints about air-conditioner noise very often, but there is an ordinance that addresses this issue.
However, Beix explained, the ordinance is vague and doesn't have strong teeth.
When these issues arise, a resident can complain to the Health Department and the city tries to work with owner of the air-conditioner to see if it is properly maintained, Beix said.
He also suggested that residents can work with their aldermen to mediate the situation.

Community Blog: How (And Why) To Truly Forgive Your Spouse
By YourTango
Responsibility is your willingness and ability to respond to that for which you are accountable. Responsibility relies on your willingness to understand, rather than judge or blame. Instead of coming to your partner not with "How dare you!" even if that's what you are feeling, talk to him about "I'm confused. Please help me understand why you chose to buy the TV, etc." Your job then is to listen with an open mind and an open heart.
Your spouse may say "I feel like I'm giving, giving, giving, all the time. There's no place for me. I agree I was wrong not to talk with you about it first. I figured you'd say "no way" so I just did it. I'm sorry." You can step up to your responsibility by saying "I didn't realize you felt that way. It's my turn to be sorry. Let's figure out a different budget. What ideas do you have?"
From understanding how each of you feel, you can look at your problems as issues to be worked out, not daggers in the heart. There's something real behind each of your "I'm sorry"—and now you can wholeheartedly forgive.
Which means you can wholeheartedly give thanks. For this relationship, this mate, with whom you can engage in honest conversation, with whom you can build a worthwhile life, bumps and hurdles notwithstanding. With whom you can have—a true Holiday.

• Don't move the person since this could injure the person more.
• Cover the injured person with you jacket, a blanket, or something else warm if he or she is cold.
• When an adult arrives, follow their instructions.
Fire safety
There were 5,039 residential fires in Minnesota in 2011, according to the State Fire Marshal.
Aside from the common advice to stop, drop and roll to extinguish clothes that catch fire, safety experts said children should also know not to stop to grab belongings during a blaze, or to reenter a burning building for any reason.
Children shouldn't dial 911 from inside a burning house, but outside of it. While leaving a burning house, safety experts said occupants should crawl on the floor beneath the smoke and flames and avoid touching doors.
Kids often try to run back inside for a pet or if they don't find their parents outside the burning building, Viana said. To counter this, children should know where a specific family meeting place is during a disaster; re-entering a burning building can be fatal.
Water safety
In 2012, seven of the 39 reported drowning deaths throughout Minnesota were children aged between one and 13, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Water safety is a particular area of concern for the American Red Cross due to the "unfortunate number of drowning deaths in the community," Hansen said.
It's important to train children not to approach the water by themselves or when out of an adult's sight. They should swim or wade only where they can be seen and always with someone else. Pushing or jumping on other swimmers is also highly discouraged.
Older children should know not to dive into water of uncertain depth, Viana said.
While in a boat, basic safety protocols like wearing a life jacket and not roughhousing or misbehaving apply.
Hansen underscored the importance of teaching children not to jump in after someone who is drowning, but rather to toss a rope or life preserver or to shout for immediate help. Those who attempt to leap in after a drowning person risk drowning themselves in the course of the rescue.
Seasonal Minnesota emergencies like flooding also present a drowning risk, Hansen added.
Street smarts
When children get lost or are walking by themselves, safety experts said it's important they know who to trust and where to go.

Asaduzzaman Noor is best known for his portrayal of Baker Bhai in "Kothao Keu Nei", written by Humayun Ahmed. A popular face on Bangladeshi television, he has also done films like " Aguner Poroshmoni". Juggling his career in politics and theatre, Noor dreams of better Indo-Bangladesh relations. Excerpts from an interview with the actor-politician, who is part of the Maitree Bandhan Literary Festival, presented by The Times of India.
From joining the theatre group, Nagarik, way back in 1973, you have a come a long way. How has the journey been?
I had no formal training in theatre when I joined Nagarik. First three to four years were spent learning many things. From backstage management to playing bit roles, slowly I started getting bigger breaks. Now, since political commitments take up a lot of my time, I can't dedicate much time to stage. But my theatre days were what I thoroughly enjoyed. Even now I dream of going back to the stage. I miss all the fun.
How different is the theatre scene in both sides of the border?
When we started off, our work was greatly inspired by what was happening in Kolkata. Post-1971 I came in close contact with greats like Utpal Dutt, Ajitesh Bandopadhyay, but unfortunately, I was not lucky enough to meet Shambhu Mitra. Now, there are great personalities like Rudraprasad Sengupta, Bibhas Chakrabarty and Shaoli Mitra. However, there are subtle differences in the way theatre is done in Kolkata and in Bangladesh. In Bengal, theatre is more urban in nature, where city life is highlighted. Back home, theatre gives out a rural feel. But I feel that the golden age of Kolkata theatre is gone. This is a period of low tide.
You are still remembered as Baker Bhai from the serial, "Kothao Keu Nai". Why didn't we see such a performance again?
We have been very lucky to have a playwright like H u m ay u n Ahmed in those days. His works were simply mindblowing. He is very popular in our country even now. Also, in those days, there was only one TV ch a n n e l , where the serial would be aired. We don't get such playwrights anymore, so it's hard to come across another "Kothao Keu Nei".
We have seen you on the big screen in "Aguner Poroshmoni". What happened after that?
I have done a couple of films even after that. I was in "Daruchinir Dwip" and "Chandrakatha". However, the problem is working in films take up a lot of time. Thanks to my political life, which is very active now, I don't have much time for films. You can say that the actor Asaduzzaman Noor has lost out to the politician Noor.
You were seen in an active political avatar between 1962 and 1971. How has the political scene changed in Bangladesh over the years?
After 1971, we had hoped for democracy in Bangladesh. But repeatedly, military dictators took over. So the culture of democracy has not been properly established in our country. A lot of expectations have remained unfulfilled. Great politicians of our times are no longer there, politics is more about muscle and money now. These are not good signs, we are all striving for a better tomorrow, let's hope for the best.
What do you think of efforts such as the Maitree Bandhan?
A lot of effort is being made to improve the bilateral relations between the two countries. However, people need to be aware of each other in order to achieve such improvement. For that events like Maitree Bandhan really play an important role. But, one thing needs to be remembered — Kolkata does not represent the whole of India. There is already a lot of cultural interaction between West Bengal and Bangladesh. We are aware of each other. But such efforts should be taken up in other parts of the country as well. It will then become a bigger success.

I planted 10 seeds indoors and kept them in a ceramic pot under 85 degree light in my basement for 16 hours a day, and turned off the light for 8 hours at night. It's been 4 weeks and nothing! I have kept the soil moist and continuously sprayed the surface with water as well... What gives? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you mean the seed bed hits 85 degrees F? That seems very warm to me, for most Fuchsias. F. magellanica is native in the Andes, and also along the coast down in southern Chile down as far south as the Straits of Magellan, which have a climate comparable to that of the Alaskan panhandle. Like most Fuchsias, its biochemistry is optimized for cool temperatures. At high temperatures, its chemistry slows down to a crawl which is why Fuchsias get disease prone in the heat and why I answer a lot of questions about "why is my Fuchsia dying" when the weather gets hot (and the answer is always the same...). Is your seed fresh? I doubt it has long viability. If it's old seed I can probably send you fresh. This was a bad year for Fuchsias on the Pacific Coast but I probably have a few berries ripening on my Magellanica type by now. It's a small-flowered, short-tubed, small-leaved, extra-hardy type probably derived from "Riccartoni" (it looks just like Riccartoni), which, by the way, is almost never the real thing in the USA. It showed up as a volunteer in my garden, probably a chance seedling of a hybrid based on Riccartoni that reverted. |

Lensbaby optics you lift in and drop out, via supplied magnetic wand, the various aperture hermes outlet rings corresponding to the diameter of the desired aperture for the optic in use.) Now, this impediment to getting the most from the optics http://www.babul-ilm.com/ (admittedly, again, my own) is removed with their latest product, the Sweet 35 Optic.
Lensbaby "Sweet 35": Super-Bokeh Images
With an MSRP of $179.95, the Sweet in the name refers to the sweet spot in the frame, the area of focus surrounded by a gradual blur. The device has stops, marked from f/2.5 to f/22, and they function as click stops as you work, though partial stops are possible, with more facility in the mid-aperture settings. The ability to change stops as you work, which previously required dropping in the various aperture rings, will be a revelation to Lensbaby fans, and makes for expanded image options and newfound freedom when you work. Add in the 12-blade diaphragm along with the swing capability of the base and you have a "super-bokeh" potential that seems unmatched by any other lens I've used.
The compatible Lensbaby mounts, by the way, include the Composer, Scout, Muse, and Control Freak (see their website at www.lensbaby.com for the differences and other options these mounts afford). These adapters are available for Canon, Nikon, Pentax K, Sony alpha, and Olympus Four Thirds bodies. The Sweet 35 Optic is not compatible with their recently introduced Composer with Tilt Transformer.
The focal length for full-frame cameras is 35mm and for APS-C it's about 50mm or so, depending on your actual sensor factor. I tested it on Canon bodies with both full and APS-C sensors. The only limit I encountered was vignetting on extreme swings on the full-frame body, something that occurs considerably less or not at all on APS-C bodies. I did not test the unit on a Live View body, although I am sure that this would be an excellent way to work with this lens as well.
The 12-blade diaphragm is fairly unusual for any lens and 12 blades really does make a visual difference in out-of-focus highlights to a degree that I don't believe we've seen before. Fans of bokeh go on about the differences between the more typical seven-bladed and nine-bladed diaphragms, so this jump to 12 should make them downright rhapsodic. Add to this the close-focusing ability of the lens (which ranges from 3" to about 7.5" depending on the base mount—see website for match-ups) and you have something rather special in your hands.
I shot tests at the local Long Island Hicks Nursery annual flower show (there were numerous camera clubs there as well) and for all shots set ISO 400 as the highest sensitivity in the greenhouses and shops and worked in Manual Exposure mode without flash. As mentioned, on the full-frame camera I did get vignetting at complete side swings, but overall the Sweet 35 Optic made shooting at the show a real fun morning.
The folks at Lensbaby sent us some stats on the sweet spot ranges depending on aperture, from 15 percent at f/2.5 to 40 percent at f/22, telling in how aperture and degrees of unsharpness match up. The numbers might also be of interest to those still working with "drop-in" aperture rings. The true proof is in the pudding, so just mount the device on your camera and see what you can do. All I can say is that it's a trip worth taking, and while it is not something you'd want as a steady diet it sure is a refresher course for the eyes.

Leech, John
Leech, John
biographical name(born Aug. 29, 1817, London, Eng.died Oct. 29, 1864, London) British caricaturist. He gave up the study of medicine to produce comic sketches and etchings for magazines, notably Punch. He collaborated with George Cruikshank but later departed from the horrific and satirical elements of traditional English caricature to develop his own style of comfortable, warmly humorous middle-class urbanity, underlining character by emphatic contrasts of stock types. With John Tenniel he created the image of John Bull, a jovial, foursquare Englishman, sometimes in a Union Jack waistcoat, with a bulldog at heel.

The compound annual growth rate for the total market for spine surgery as defined in the MedMarket Diligence report is forecast to be 6.96% for 2011-2020. It will be driven by solid growth in Posterior Pedicle Screw Fusion Systems and Cervical and Lumbar Artificial Discs, and modest growth in some sectors which are of significant size, including Balloon Kyphoplasty, Allografts and DBM.
Demand for spine surgery solutions to a wide variety of back problems is unquestionably sustained by an aging baby boomer population not content with being idle in their declining years. But spine surgery is also on the increase in younger (under 50) patients as a result of improvements in minimally invasive procedures that lower the bar in terms of how serious a spine condition must be as a prerequisite for patients to consider treatment. The drive to regain active lifestyles (or prolong them) is therefore behind growth at all ages.
The devices addressed in the MedMarket Diligence report are: posterior pedicle screw fusion systems, anterior cervical plate (ACP) systems, anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) devices, transforaminal interbody fusion (TLIF) devices, posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) devices, axial lumbar interbody fusion (AxiaLIF) devices and interspinous process spacers, cervical artificial discs, lumbar artificial discs, vertebroplasty, balloon kyphoplasty, allografts, demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs).
Exclusively through GII, customers save 30% on this report, but only through August 31! Mention this press release to receive the discount. An Executive Summary for this report and free sample pages from the full document are available at http://www.giiresearch.com/report/med201350-worldwide-spine-

When I entered law enforcement in 1968 everyone carried revolvers.
I put thousands of rounds of .38 spl down range over the years.
I carried a Colt Offical Police on duty and a S&W 36 off duty.
Through the 70's and into the 80's it was revolvers until the department I was with adopted the S&W 59 then the 5906.
Then I carried a 39 off duty eventually going to a 3906 then a 6906.
Thousands of 9 mm rounds down range over the years and many training classes.
The early 90's came and with it the Glocks. At first a love/hate for me but I got over it and for the next 15 years it was G-19, G-23 and G-21 and again thousands of rounds fired downrange.
I enjoy my handguns and I shoot them as often as I can now in retirement. I still like and sometimes carry a snubbie like my SP-101 or Chiefs Special or Dick Special. Nostalgia. Maybe, but I can still put rounds on target.
I carry concealed in the same place all the time. AIWB. All my carry guns are point and shoot except for the Hi-Power and if I have a safe queen she is it.

I am comfortable with what I carry and am confident with my ability to use whatever tool is on my belt at any given time with my mind being the ultimate weapon.
My guns are a part of my life that makes it enjoyable and I do like a little variety.
